Learn from three TAVR experts how patients and health systems are benefiting from the use of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) to maintain safe transfemoral TAVR in patients with complicated vascular access. The experts share their experience with enabling early TAVR discharge protocols even in high risk and complex patients. The economic advantages can be significant: more efficient procedures and workflow, reductions in OR/hybrid lab/cath lab time, less ICU time and shorter hospital length of stay. Also hear how programs large and small are benefitting from new CMS inpatient and outpatient codes for IVL.
